This is a wonderful little book that tells its offbeat story of a mouse who finds a way to escape the book where he is trapped. The tale is told entirely through charming pictures - no words, the perfect way for this magical story to unfold. One of my daughter's top favorites when she was small, and a pleasure for parents too. A treasure that should still be in print!

This book is probably the best book ever written by a skeptic for a skeptic!
Detailed discussion on what is Yin/Yang, five elements,
The first book which provides a rational argument to "why really skin is said to be under the jurisdiction of the Lung meridian?" and the sorts.

The only con of this book are it's diagrams of meridians and the location of points. The diagrams are generated using some computerized software and well.. not too precise. But then for precise meridians and point locations you would rather use Royston Low's Atlas of Acupuncture.

Also discussion on how the meridians navigate not only at the superficial level (which is shown in most books) but also internally.

Complete section on the eight extra-ordinary vessels.
And a section discussing the TCM and orthodox descriptions of common maladies and their treatment with acupuncture.

Anybody who wants to know the theory of matrices should keep this book on his or her desk.

This is a classic text which presents a study of the structural forms and cultural patterns of the Japanese living in rural areas from the late feudal period to the 1960's. Particular emphasis is placed on agriculture, family life, village life, and the governmental forms of hamlet versus village. The chapter on the unchanging mentality of the Japanese farmer is very enlightening, and can be easily compared to similar attitudes of farmers throughout the world. This is a highly recommended and unfortunately out of print book which should be read by any and all students of Japanese culture and history.

This picture book is one in a series of stories about a mouse trapped in a book. In this book, the mouse nibbles on a corner of the page and eventually cuts out a square, exposing blustery conditions on the "other side" of the page. He cleverly finds away to use the paper and harness the wind by turning the square into a pinwheel that he attaches to his tail. He escapes from the book by riding the wind with his pinwheel.

After I read a pile of my children's books to my 4-year-old nephew over a weekend, he asked to keep this one. It was also a hit with my 2 1/2 year-old nephew, who sat with three different adults giving the story a slightly different interpretation each time.

Of the Mouse Books series, which includes "Plane" and "Boat," this is the most clever solution to escaping from the pages of the book.
